Easy to Grow Vegetables that are Worthwhile

The vegetables listed are the backbone to vegetable gardening and are suited for any skill level.

Unlike some crops (like radishes or lettuce), these vegetables will fill your pantry with essential ingredients and will most likely give you enough to preserve for later months.

These TEN vegetables are worthwhile for anyone who is trying to grow a substantial garden:

  1. Squash, both summer and winter
  2. Beans
  3. Tomatoes
  4. Cabbage
  5. Carrots
  6. Celery
  7. Garlic
  8. Onions
  9. Potatoes
  10. Rhubarb

None of them are extremely difficult to grow, and only need well fertilized soil, good sunlight, and consistent water.

Happy Gardening!
